olearycrew
code of conduct tl;dr:
Be respectful of other people, respectfully ask people to stop if you are bothered, and if you can't resolve an issue, contact staff. If you are being a problem, it will be apparent and you'll be asked to leave.
Based on previous excellent work by others, this is a living code of conduct
. This code of conduct applies to all boleary.dev
and olearycrew
spaces both online and off, including my Twitch stream, my twitter DMs, and really anytime we're hanging out.
olearycrew
and boleary.dev
are intentionally positive communities that recognize and celebrate the creativity and collaboration of independent creators (and independence) and the diversity of people, cultures, and opinions that they bring to our community. This is strongly based on my own personal belief that Everyone Can Contriubte.
olearycrew
spaces are an inclusive environment, based on treating all individuals respectfully, regardless of gender (including transgender status), sexual orientation, age, disability, medical conditions, nationality, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), physical appearance, politics, ideology (real-world or tech), or software preferences.
We value respectful behavior above individual opinions.
Respectful behavior includes:

prioritizes marginalized people's safety over privileged people's comfort. olearycrew
organizers reserve the right not to act on complaints regarding:
(Thanks to XOXO for providing the above paragraph and list on marginalized people's safety with a [https://2018.xoxofest.com/conduct CC-BY license])
We believe peer to peer discussions, feedback, corrections can help build a stronger, safer, and more welcoming community.
If you see someone behaving disrespectfully, you are encouraged to respectfully discourage them from such behavior. Expect that others in the community wish to help keep the community respectful and welcome your input in doing so.
If you experience disrespectful behavior and feel in any way unable to respond or resolve it respectfully (for any reason), please immediately bring it to the attention of an organizer. We want to hear from you about anything that you feel is disrespectful, threatening, or just icky in any way. We will listen and work to resolve the matter.
Should you catch yourself behaving disrespectfully, or be confronted as such, own up to your words and actions, and apologize accordingly. No one is perfect, and even well-intentioned people make mistakes. What matters is how you handle them, and avoiding repeating them in the future.
If the organizers determine that an event participant is behaving disrespectfully, the organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion and exclusion from the event without warning or refund.
As organizers, we will seek to resolve conflicts peacefully and positively for the community. We can't foresee every situation, however, and thus if in the organizers' judgment, the best thing to do is to ask a disrespectful individual to leave, we will do so.
If you believe you're experiencing practices at an olearycrew
event or space which doesn't meet the policies below, or if you feel you are being harassed, please immediately contact the organizer(s) or designated code of conduct responders for the event.
If you believe you're experiencing practices in chat or at an event that don't meet the policies above, please immediately contact any ally you may know. Anyone in the community should feel empowered to resolve issues and uphold our high standards.
However, if you feel the issue requires escalation to a community organizer, please contact:
